‘You Resemble Me’ Screens at SAC

On Thursday, August 24, at 6:30 p.m., Southampton Arts Center (SAC) will present “You Resemble Me,” an extraordinary and emotionally charged film that explores the profound journey of two inseparable sisters tragically torn apart during their childhood. As these young women navigate the challenges of entering adulthood alone, they embark on a profound quest to rediscover and reclaim their true identities, testing the depths of their resilience and inner strength. Join us for an award-winning cinematic experience that delves into the complexities of sisterhood, resilience, and the enduring power of the human spirit. A special Q&A and reception with the film’s director, writer and producer, Dina Amer, and producer Elizabeth Woodward immediately follows the screening.
